Getting to Know You: phone call/meeting/emails
Hey hey heyyy!! Let’s be friends. Seriously, this is where it all starts.
Before I ever lift my camera, I want to know who you are, what makes you laugh, and the stories that brought you here. This isn’t a “client meeting”… it’s more like a first date where we end up sharing stories, making friendship bracelets, and laughing too loud....and I mean, I do like a good margarita!! haha! 2
Sign Contract + Deposit
You like me, I like you, so let’s make this thing official and get the party started!
This part is easy: you say yes, we sign some papers, and we lock in your date. It’s basically our version of “putting a ring on it.” (can you hear Beyonce playing in the background?)3
Schedule E-Session
Ahh, the pre-game. This is where we loosen up, laugh too hard, and make the kind of photos that actually feel like you.
We’ll pick a meaningful location...maybe the spot you first met, or that field that glows at sunset and I’ll walk you through everything. Don’t worry about posing… I’ll direct you, make you giggle, and probably make you kiss a lot (so yes, bring the breath mints).4
Timeline Meeting
This is where it gets real.
We’ll grab our calendars, some coffee (or a margarita), and I’ll walk you through exactly how to plan your day around the moments that actually matter. I’ve photographed hundreds of weddings so this isn’t my first rodeo and I’ll help you carve out time for all the big, small, and in-between moments you’ll want to remember.
By the end of this chat, you’ll feel so much lighter ...and so dang ready.5
Wedding Day
Ahhhh… you’re getting married!!
I will be running around like stealthy ninja (yes, I usually wear all black), capturing everything from the belly laughs to the quiet hand squeezes. Expect terrible dad jokes, a few happy tears, and probably a cookie or two with my name on it. I promise, it’s going to be beautiful, chaotic, emotional, and real.6
Sneak Peeks/Blogging
I always try. my best to have some sneak peeks that will make you scream within 24 hours.
I’m an editing ninja, fueled by caffeine and pure excitement, so I’ll get a few up fast for you to share with friends and family. Consider it your official “we just got married” mic drop moment.7
Image Delivery + Ordering
Grab the tissues...this is where the happy tears hit.
You’ll laugh at your friends’ dance moves, cry when you see your dad’s face during the first look, and relive every second you swore went by too fast.
I leave the outtakes in because life isn’t perfect ...it’s ridiculous, heartfelt, and hilarious… and that’s exactly how you’ll remember it.8
Album + Product Design
My faaaavorite part!
Once you’ve chosen your favorites, I’ll design a custom heirloom album that’ll outlast trends, hashtags, and maybe even your dance moves. Someday your grandkids will flip through these pages, laugh at your hair, and say, “This is where I come from.”
That’s the good stuff.
Sure, it’s your legacy, but in more ways than one, it’s mine too.
Thank you for letting me tell your story.
